Chapter 41 Buying Arms

In my opinion, Bi Jin’s so-called “bold ideas” are not just bold.

This guy not only wanted to buy bullets, but also guns. His head turned very quickly. The Tuta people's military base exploded and the Seventh Legion was stationed scattered. When the ammunition was distributed this time, the arsenal was not inspected. After learning these three messages, I didn't expect anything, but he thought that he could take advantage of this opportunity to get some guns from the Seventh Legion to sell.

The explosion of the Tuta military base caused the Seventh Legion to suffer huge losses. But the main loss of our personnel and equipment was almost no loss.

But the above is not clear about this. Because there is almost no loss of equipment, the Seventh Legion only reported personnel losses and equipment losses. If at this time, a few or even dozens of guns were missing in the arsenal, the troops who lost the gun only need to submit a further equipment loss report, saying that these equipment was lost in the explosion, and everything will be fine.

If Bi Jin just wanted to buy one or two hundred guns, I would only think he was bold. But the problem is that he wanted to get one thousand guns this time, or even more. Is this guy trying to rebel?

I know Bi Jin doesn't want to rebel, but if the matter is revealed, the person in charge of investigating the matter is likely to think so. Bi Jin is a businessman and buys guns to sell guns. This gun is not from legal channels, and can only go to the black market. The black market is mixed with fish and dragons, and there are all kinds of people, and there must be a rebellion among them.

If the rebels use the guns we sold to make trouble and are caught, they will follow the clues to find us. The crime of reselling arms will be enough to shoot us.

Bi Jin saw that I was worried and whispered.

"Brother, don't worry, I'm not stupid and won't be caught. I will let others stand out when selling guns. If something happens, I will let them leave Yuanxing and go to other places to avoid the limelight. This will break the clues.

We are like this. You are responsible for talking to the people in the army, and leave the rest to me. People, money, land, are all paid by me. We earn four or six cents of the money we earn - brother, this is only 500,000 bullets and one thousand guns. Even if one bullet makes a penny and one gun makes a dollar, this transaction can make a net profit of 6,000 yuan, and you can get two, four.

What's more, guns and bullets cannot be sold so cheaply. I guess, we can earn at least 300,000 yuan in this order. If you get 40%, that's 120,000 yuan! And that's the bottom, and the money you earn will only be more or less! Then you can find a house on the street and buy your family and enjoy your happiness. Isn't that good?"

I heard that every house on the street has a faucet and uses tap water, so you don’t have to go out to fetch water. There are also electric lights in the street, you can use electric water to boil water, take a bath at home, and even the toilet is at home, and there is heating in winter, which is particularly convenient.

The dormitory I live in now is this configuration. Although I was a little uncomfortable at the beginning, I felt very comfortable after living for a few days. If I could let my family live in a house on the street, it would be worth it even if I took some risks.

And if I bought a house on the street, my house will be vacant now. I can rent it to my second cousin who has been married, but I don’t have a house yet, or rent it to an old farmer to live in, so that he and Queer can have a peaceful nest.

This kind of selfish and beneficial things should not be done no matter how you think about it. But what I wanted to do was not such a big deal, nor did I want to take such a big risk. I just wanted to make some money with my own cleverness. Before I came to Bi Jin, I was ready to share the money with him. Even if I only earned a few dozen yuan, I was content.

Now Bi Jin suddenly drew such a big cake, and I felt so choked just by listening to it. I didn’t want to join it from the bottom of my heart, but I took it on this matter after all, and Bi Jin was my brother again. He paid for money, people, and land, and I was only responsible for contacting the buyer. In this way, he gave me 40% of the profit. This is no longer loyalty, but feelings.

If I don’t do it, I will betraying Bi Jin’s love. So I can only do it and I must do my best to be worthy of Bi Jin’s love for me.

Alas, it seems that I was busy these days before the New Year.

After leaving the hotel, Bi Jin called a rickshaw and went straight back to the Bi family. I returned to the military camp as quickly as possible and discussed with the people of the 316th Regiment to purchase arms.

I told the people from the 316th Regiment that our 315th Regiment was too diligent in shooting targets and was too lazy to fight, and many guns were not easy to use. Since the people from the 316th Regiment were not willing to shoot, we might as well give them the broken guns and let them use the good guns.

The people of the 316th Regiment naturally did not do it. At this time, I took the opportunity to say that I could give you money, each one, but they had to give us one hundred more guns so that we could use them in exchange. They said that the number of guns would not match. I said that something happened to our legion just now? If someone came to investigate, you would say that the 100 guns were lost in the explosion and asked them to send you new ones.

The next ammunition rationing will take three months later. After the loss is reported, it will take another three months to complete it. They thought I was in a hurry to use a gun, so they accepted the transaction.

In order to do a good job, I went to the arsenal that night on the grounds of checking the arms. After pretending to check, I told the brothers guarding the arsenal that there was a problem with our regiment's gun and the shooting will be cancelled tomorrow.

The next morning, I started running between the garrisons of the Seventh Legion and talked with the officers of each regiment to purchase arms. Everyone in the Seventh Legion knew that our 315th Regiment liked to shoot targets because I was willing to pay, so whether it was bullets or "change guns", the other party cooperated very well.

When talking about business, I said the same thing to everyone in the group. In order to prevent officers from talking about this when they got together, I added this time, saying that if the transaction is discovered by the superiors, everyone will be responsible, so they must not say it out.

On this day, I ran all over the Seventh Legion. When I returned to the barracks, I received another good news, that is, the people of the 316th Regiment felt that changing guns would have to be moved around and counted, which was too troublesome. They wanted to sell the guns to me directly and replace them with new ones in the future.

Since it is sold, we cannot sell too much. If the gun is lost too much, it will be difficult for them to explain after checking it. After some discussion, the 316th Regiment decided to sell me 120 rifles and 30 pistols at a unit price of five yuan. In addition, they also increased the sales of bullets and sold me 100,000 rifle bullets and 20,000 pistol bullets at a price of 100,000 pistol bullets at a price of 5 yuan per 100,000 pistol bullets - this number has exceeded the total amount of ammunition rations of the 316th Regiment this time.

Even if you use your toes, you can figure it out. These guys are very smart and want to "lose" the bullet preparations and make more money. After a transaction, the 316 group can make 7,750 yuan in vain, of which the bullet money is the big one, worth 7,000 yuan. The guns that should have been valuable account for a small one, only worth 750 yuan.

After the business was negotiated, the officers who were talking to me were so happy that they couldn't stop. But they didn't think about where I, a coolie who had no identity and background, would go to get 7,750 yuan for them.

Actually, it’s no wonder they are. Like me, they are all coolies with no identity and background. They have never talked about such a big deal - actually, the same is true for me. I was also very excited when I negotiated this deal. But I was better able to control my emotions and didn’t show it.

When I went to other groups to discuss business, I also looked for such coolie officers. Because of the similar situations, we coolie officers often go on tasks together. We occasionally gather together for meals, contact each other, and vent our dissatisfaction. Although we have only been in the industry for about two years, I know all the coolie officers in the army, and they all know me, so it is very convenient to speak.

On the 4th, I went to various regiments again and persuaded the officers of other regiments to sell me guns and sell me more bullets. I have to say that the Seventh Corps is really lazy to the extreme. Even coolie officers can save a share of their efforts, and earn a share of their money more.
